## Android app

onto your Android device, and open it to install.

|
## building it yourself
|
|
|
|
git-annex can be built for Android, with `make android`. It's not an easy
|
|
process:
|
|
|
|
* First, install <https://github.com/neurocyte/ghc-android>.
|
|
* You will need to have the Android SDK and NDK installed; see
|
|
`standalone/android/Makefile` to configure the paths to them. You'll also
|
|
need ant, and the JDK.
|
|
* In `standalone/android/`, run `install-haskell-packages native`
|
|
* You also need to install git and all the utilities listed on [[fromscratch]],
|
|
on the system doing the building.
|
|
* Then to build the full Android app bundle, use `make androidapp`
